Established in 2012, Coding Dojo<\/a> is one of the first coding bootcamps to offer learners an alternative to a typical four-year computer science course. Since then, it has provided students with a scientifically designed program that fully prepares graduates for STEM careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Coding Dojo has multiple campus locations in the US and offers full-time, part-time, and fully online bootcamps. It has 10 years of learning science<\/a> behind its curriculum and has produced over 6,000 graduates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such a long time in time in the coding bootcamp space, how has Coding Dojo maintained a steady footing in the industry? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One significant aspect that sets Coding Dojo apart from other online bootcamps<\/a> is that it teaches three full stacks instead of being a typical one-stack program. Students learn Python full stack, MERN full stack, and Java or C# full stack. According to the school, its curriculum covers more front end and back end programming than any other online coding course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coding Dojo\u2019s comprehensive program was developed with the recognition that most tech companies require their employees to know more than just one programming language. Its goal, therefore, is to fully prepare graduates to tackle any coding language the future may bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coding Dojo offers a 14-week, full-time, three-stack Software Development program that sets it apart from other coding bootcamps.<\/p>\nBe part of Coding Dojo\u2019s next cohort today.<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coding Dojo\u2019s Application Process: How to Get into the Coding Bootcamp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your journey to Coding Dojo begins with an optional Q&A call with the Admissions Team to answer any initial questions about the coding bootcamp. Coding Dojo also holds regular virtual Open House events<\/a> where interested applicants can learn more about the bootcamp\u2019s various programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to apply, you\u2019ll need to fill out a short online application form that will cover personal information, your professional background, and the program you are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the full-time programs, the third step is an interview with an admissions advisor. The interview will ascertain a match between your learning goals and the bootcamp\u2019s requirements. The most important trait you\u2019ll need to possess is determination, which the interview will also uncover. Two to three days after the interview, the admissions team will inform applicants of the acceptance decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that part-time programs do not require an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coding Dojo does not require a technical interview or assessment in its application requirements. Once the student is accepted, they need to submit a deposit to officially save their slot in the program and gain access to bootcamp prep materials. After this, the student is connected to their onboarding manager and their future cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Overview of Coding Dojo\u2019s Full-Time Software Development Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coding Dojo offers a full-time Software Development program, delivered in different formats: both online and onsite, pending safety recommendations from health organizations. It has campuses in Bellevue, WA; Boise, ID; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; and Silicon Valley, CA. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all classes are currently held online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online full-time Software Development bootcamp program<\/a> is fully immersive and takes 14 weeks to complete, with students spending 70 to 90 hours a week on the program. Students have 24\/7 access to the proprietary Coding Dojo Learn Platform, where all assignments are posted. This is also where projects, readings, and quizzes are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assigned projects start small and build up to more significant projects, ensuring that students \u201clearn by doing\u201d. Assignments are tackled individually as well as with other students, teaching learners how to code with other people, which is similar to a real-life workplace situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put simply, the program is rigorous and requires drive and determination. For this reason, students will have multiple avenues of support throughout the program, from admission until well after graduation. It is open to both beginners and people with advanced coding backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial two weeks of the full-time program consist of a warmup course. This period is when students take a skills assessment to determine if programming basics are necessary or if they can move directly to web fundamentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This intro period covers web interface, industry tools, and DOM & Data Manipulation. The technologies covered are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Visual Studio, Terminal, and Git. After this period, the main program begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
